Sharron Angle, senatorial candidate from Nevada, made news six years ago when she suggested “Second Amendment remedies” to control Congress and defeat her incumbent opponent. She never directly told people to assassinate the then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and fortunately, no one tried to murder him. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin wasn’t as fortunate. Rabin’s right-wing opponents described him as a “traitor” and “Nazi” because he wanted to make peace with the Palestinians and give them back their land, and Jewish extremist Yigal Amir killed the prime minister because the assassin thought he was serving his country through his actions.

The recent Republican convention fueled incendiary behavior toward Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, with constant cries of “lock her up” and speaker Chris Christie’s mock trial inciting shouts of “guilty.” Al Baldasaro, Trump’s advisor on veterans issues, called for Clinton to be executed in a firing line at least twice during the convention.

Earlier this week, Donald Trump controlled himself for an hour as he carefully read from teleprompters about his economic “plan” but rapidly moved back to the usual bombastic behavior. One statement has ignited the world after he lied about Clinton wanting to get rid of the Second Amendment—the right for militia members to carry guns.

“If she gets to pick her judges―nothing you can do, folks. Although, the Second Amendment people. Maybe there is. I don’t know. But I tell you what, that will be a horrible day.”

The Trump people immediately returned to spin mode, claiming that it was a joke or a call for people to go out and vote against Clinton. As a joke, it goes far beyond poor taste. As for voting, the reference is to after the election—not before—and the last sentence, which most media ignore, indicates violence.

To suggest that Trump was literally telling people that they should kill Clinton is to indicate that he’s more mentally unbalanced than many pundits have proposed in the last few weeks. As a celebrity entertainer running for president, however, he’s normalizing violent solutions by joking about it in front of a large crowd. And his suggestion isn’t limited to just Clinton: he mentioned the judges—and implicitly anyone who opposes him, such as journalists and bloggers. This statement can inspire truly mentally-unbalanced individuals as other words have in the past. As journalist Chemi Shalev wrote:

“Like the extreme right in Israel, many Republicans conveniently ignore the fact that words can kill. There are enough people with a tendency for violence that cannot distinguish between political stagecraft and practical exhortations to rescue the country by any available means.”

David Cohen wrote in Rolling Stone about Trump’s stochastic terrorism—“using language and other forms of communication ‘to incite random actors to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable.’” Valerie Tarico wrote about this form of terrorism after a man killed three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs late last year:

“A public figure with access to the airwaves or pulpit demonizes a person or group of persons.

With repetition, the targeted person or group is gradually dehumanized, depicted as loathsome and dangerous—arousing a combustible combination of fear and moral disgust.

Violent images and metaphors, jokes about violence, analogies to past ‘purges’ against reviled groups, use of righteous religious language—all of these typically stop just short of an explicit call to arms.

When violence erupts, the public figures who have incited the violence condemn it—claiming no one could possibly have foreseen the ‘tragedy.'”

Dr. George Tiller’s assassination in 2009 follows this pattern as does Trump’s actions:

Trump incessantly degrades and demonizes Clinton by calling her “Crooked Hillary” and calling her the “co-founder of ISIS.”

Trump produces a convention in which the idea of Clinton as a criminal is constantly repeated in order to increase disgust and fear toward her.

Trump now uses “dog whistles,” “jokes,” and incomplete statements to encourage violence and wait for someone to take him up on his “suggestion.”

Trump has a reason for these extremist remarks. As the media published more and more information about his connection with Russia, he attacked the Khan family, parents of a fallen heroic soldier. The Pied Piper led his followers away from Russia, but the then the media reported on the possibility that his wife, Melania, is an “illegal alien”—to quote his followers—as well as his really bad economic speech.

In 2005, Melania Trump claimed that she was not married before meeting Trump, but a Trump Organization lawyer, Michael Wildes, said that the Slovenian citizen got a green card in 2001 “based on marriage” to live in the United States. He now says that he cannot discuss details because of privacy issues.

Her immigration status was already in question after recently-published nude shots indicated she began working in the U.S. a year earlier than previously stated. In addition, she said that she had to return to Slovenia every few months to renew her visa, not a requirement for the H-1B visa that she claimed to have. Her need for frequent renewals fits a B-1 Temporary Business Visitor or B-2 Tourist Visa, which typically last up to six months and do not permit employment except for domestic servants accompanying employers temporarily in the U.S. Using the B-2 visa for work would constitute visa fraud. Such fraud would raise questions about her current U.S. citizenship. Donald Trump stated that his wife had complied with the immigration laws and that she would be holding a “little press conference.” No time has been announced for this event.

The “Second Amendment” speech covered for those problems, but the Pied Piper called President Obama the “founder of ISIS” to lead the media in a different direction. ISIS started with Al Queda in 2003 and was perhaps strengthened only because of George W. Bush’s agreement to take all troops out of Iraq by 2011. Donald Trump is featured in at least pro-ISIS propaganda films.

Trump’s “Second Amendment” speech and the attacks on the president have not totally overcome Trump’s economic speech, especially after Hillary Clinton gave one today. In addition to his lies, he promised a moratorium on new regulations while criticizing China for “no real environmental or labor protections.” He promised “an across-the-board income tax reduction” that would benefit corporations and wealthy people. With tax cuts, he promised to double Clinton’s recommended spending on the nation’s infrastructure and put more money into the military. He also promised a massive increase in tariffs, resulting in much higher prices for people in the U.S.

His complaint about the high tax rate forU.S. businesses skipped loopholes, credits, and deductions that brings the actual taxes paid down to 1.9 percent of the tax share last year—down from a high of 2.7 percent. Over 100,000 businesses in the U.S. paid zero taxes in 2012.

His accusations that the Affordable Care Act losing jobs is also false. Since the law went into effect, the nation’s economy added more than 14.6 million jobs, dropping the jobless rate to 4.9 percent from 9.9 percent.

A new study from the Economic Policy Institute shows that the GOP is to blame for a slow economic recovery because of budget cuts including the problems in 2011 regarding the debt ceiling, unwillingness to spend money, and lack of Medicaid expansion. Local, state, and federal conservatives are all responsible.

Here is the economic team that provided Trump with his failed ideas from the past.

The RNC is again frustrated by Donald Trump’s behavior. Chair Reince Priebus has told Trump that changes need to be made because of an impending failure for his candidacy, again trying to move Trump toward a more professional demeanor. The RNC is struggling with a decision to protect all the other GOP candidates at the risk of losing the presidency, and a decision must be made soon because early voting starts in a month. Trump threatened to quit fund-raising if any action is taken.

Trump has now decided that he can be bought. After ridiculing all his opponents for taking money from billionaires, he is now wooing them for donations, including the Las Vegas magnate Sheldon Adelson. Both he and his vice-presidential candidate, Mike Pence, also plan to appear at events for the duo’s super PAC, legal if the candidates do not solicit more than $5,000. Florida’s Gov. Rick Scott has been named head of the super PAC that Trump has called horrible and corrupting. Last October, he said, “The character of our country is only as strong as our leaders.”

Polls are moving to favor a Clinton win, and even notable wackos such as Glenn Beck won’t support Trump. Today Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called keeping a GOP majority in the Senate “very dicey.” Of the 34 seats up for grabs, 24 of them are currently GOP-held with seven of them “very competitive,” according to McConnell. Democrats need four seats to take control if they also get the White House.
